ICMAG slow to load

[Guest 18340]

For at least the last week ICMAG has been extremely slow to load. Everything from logging in to clicking on threads, it takes forever to load.
Was at a buddies house yesterday and he's been having the same problems so I know it's not my computer.
All other sites load fine, just ICMAG.
I know their were issues about a week ago, maybe it's not fixed yet?

The site has not run like it use to for a while now...

I do run FireFox but I think my buddy runs I.E.

I'm on a Mac with Safari and the site flies like the wind.

Try clearing cache, history etc. Run diagnostics and maybe a defrag.

I run into issues late at night. Laptop is in tip top running condition. Pages just take forever to load..Something is different then it use to be.

I've noticed for the past 2 weeks that at 2:56 am to 3:10 am EST, the site does not work between these times. Same time every night. The site is always slow for me no matter what computer that I use even macs.

Slow on Chrome/Linux. Been like this for awhile. HTH.

I'm slow on both Firefox and Chrome.
Noticed for about a week now, things are MUCH slower.
Doesn't happen on other sites, only ic.

Giving em the token reboot every 24 hours to clean the pipes.

Ok i thought it was just me !! i have a brand new PC & it seems to have started then but it could be my imagination . windows 7 & firefox's newest version 8.(i think ) .

we are working on several issues at the moment to improve the site speed, the 10 - 15 min period around 8am uk time is due to the log's
and cache being cleared / updated and due to the size of the site and the log files this can cause the site to grind to a halt

I'm looking to upgrade to Ver 4 to improve the speed of the site but there are major issues with this upgrade
the prime one being the gallery system we have (old & new) and trying to integrate them without loosing any pictures

in the New year I'm going to start trimming off a lot of dead wood from the site to improve performance
but as you can imagine a site this size thats been running for over 7 years the database is huge
so this will take several weeks and some down time to achieve

Thanks oldpink, I thought my computer was revolting against me...

*BUMP*
Is it or is this 'site still running slow? Takes forever to load a page and it's making modding (editing threads etc)quite difficult.
This is a brand new computer. Literally, it's two days old outta the box. HELP!!!!!!!!

It's not you, it's the site. I've heard a new incarnation of ICMag is on the horizon, so this site is probably in 'limp home' mode. Someone correct my if I'm wrong.

I look for big changes when the gang gets back on Monday.

 

[Hold Your Fire]

Still slow for me too.

 

[dansbuds]

yup .... slow as molasses in january !!! brand new PC also . i've tried IE , firefox & google chrome . they all seem to do the same thing here @ ICmag . every other site is running great but this one . I'm sure pink is working on it , or will after they get back along with the CC thing on the Boo .
